2. Check the heater thoroughly for damage. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.

3. DO NOT modify the heater or operate a heater which has been modified
from its original condition.

4. Suitable for outdoor use. For either outdoor or indoor use where adequate
ventilation is provided. Never use in areas normally for habitation. Not for use
where exposed to weather.

Operating Precautions

This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It’s intended use is primarily
temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair.

Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated space.
Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion

efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide (called CO) is toxic. CO can build up in a heated space and failure to
provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The symptoms of inadequate
ventilation are:

• headache • dizziness

• burning eyes and nose • nausea

• dry mouth or sore throat
Be sure to follow advice about ventilation in the Safety Precautions section.
Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through the heater. Proper

combustion depends upon this air flow; therefore, the heater must not be
revised, modified or operated with parts removed or missing. Likewise, safety
systems must not be circumvented or modified in order to operate the heater.

When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other people the user is
responsible for properly acquainting those present with the safety precautions
and instructions, and of the hazards involved.
